Me standing at 22, 000 ft with the Lhotse Face on the far right and Mt.Everest on the left. I am at 22,ooo ft with only 8000 ft to go: which will take the next three weeks to do! I am holding the NORD banner (National Organization on Rare Diseases)

At Camp Two
by CindyAbbott on Apr.26, 2010
I am at camp 2 now (21,500ft). We will stay three nights to acclimatize and
then go back to base camp: with all its luxuries! Last night we had the most
wonderful view of the moonlight on the Lhotse Face and Mt. Everest.
Climbing the Khumbu Icefall was amazing – I will post pictures when I get
back down. Have to go help build a tent platform from rocks: very
comfortable :)
Moving Up

Today we climbed 1/3 of the way to Camp 1. We practiced on the ropes and
crossing the ladders! I will try and get a picture of me crossing a ladder
posted, but we leave early in the morning for 5 days at Camps ! and 2. I
should have some great pictures when I get back down. All is well on the
mountain: It is amazingly beautiful here – but a bit cold. Miss home and
family: only 6 more weeks.
